7th Heaven: Why Not Me?

« prev episode next » episode

When receiving a specific phone call from Simon, Kevin learns that Simon has been kicked out of his college dorm room for allowing a school friend, Christina Davis (guest-star Lauren Storm) to stay with him, which is against the rules. Simon tries to only enlist Kevin and not his parents for help in finding another place for him and Christina, but Eric eventually jumps in to handle the situation. When Eric comes to the rescue, he learns that Christina is a product of social services as well as her three younger siblings who are separated from each other and all in need of homes.

Eric realizes that their situation may be more than he can handle alone after talking with social services and encountering the children's biological mother (guest-star Mackenzie Phillips) on the street at night. With the help of Annie, Eric encourages the congregation to make a difference by becoming licensed foster parents to the Davis children. Add a recap »

Goof: In the beginning of the episode when Kevin is walking through the campus, in one shot Kevin passes by three giggling girls, one in particular a black girl in a pink outfit. Then in the next shot as he spots Simon and walks up to him he once again passes in front of the same people again. edit »
When They are eating dinner the first shot shows Kevin sitting next to Ruthie but in the next shot Kevin is by Lucy and Ruthie is with the twins. edit »
Why is Simon in trouble for having a girl in his room if the dorm is co-ed? Unless it's because she isn't registered to that room, but that's more of a technicality than anything else. Also, a resident administrator doesn't report directly to the dean of students. Presuming Simon attends a campus of 10,000, about state university size, a minor housing dispute would go from an RA to the dorm hall director, then *maybe* to Residence Life. If a serious enough infraction, which this doesn't seem to be, the associate dean of judicial affairs is brought in. It'd definitely never reach the ears of the dean/university president. A few rungs got skipped on the college hierarchy ladder here. edit »
When Anne was going through the list of reasons she said they couldn't take anymore kids in, she said because Lucy will be needing her help and they already have 2 grandkids. They only have one and she already mentioned that Lucy was pregnant. edit »
